How do we determine whether we are using Web API 1 or Web API 2?

Question

Introduce the problem

I would like to know whether we are using Web API 1 or 2. My own packages.config indicates version 5.0.0. Is that Web API 1 or 2?<

Answer 1

I think what you found seems correct. I had the same question then I had a look under my installed packages when you go "Manage Nuget packages". There was an item installed with the name "Microsoft ASP.NET WEB API 2.2". So I was able to determine my own version from there.
